Flu Shot Clinic
Flu Shot Clinic
Martin’s Pharmacy will be on campus to administer flu shots for JMU faculty, staff, and students.
There is no appointment necessary, but insurance information is required, so please be sure to bring your insurance card with you and complete the Giants/Martin’s Pharmacy Vaccine Informed Consent form. To speed up the process, those interested may go ahead and fill out the form ahead of time.
The flu shot clinic will be held on Thursday, October 29, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. in the Highlands room of the Festival Conference and Student Center.
Plant Swap
Plant Swap
The JMU Green Thumb Society will host a plant swap during the Balanced Dukes Conference this year! Stop by anytime between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the Festival Conference and Student Center in Conference Room 3 to swap or adopt a plant. The swap will work best if you bring something to share, but if you’d just like to come and connect with other plant lovers, that’s fine as well.
Please make sure all plants are labeled and disease-free. Accepted items include houseplant cuttings or babies, extra outdoor plants, bulbs, seed packets, pots, gardening supplies, fertilizers, and plant accessories.
Plant drop-offs must be made by 9:00 a.m., and any plants you want to take home must be picked up by 3:45 p.m. If you have any questions, please contact Barbara Shifflett (shifflbm@jmu.edu) or join the Teams plant group (code: ty35pnl).
You do not have to attend the conference to participate in the plant swap.
